Have you tried using the "nvidia-settings" tool to generate xorg.conf? It's
in the repositories and it's GUI based. I had a horrible time configuring my
dual head setup here at work until I used that tool. There are some extra
settings that are not well documented when using the nvidia proprietary
drivers that the tool will set for you.
